I don't think she ever came right out and said that America set up 9/11. She was questioning the trade centre 7's collapse and whether it was possible. She could very well be wrong about that. The fact remains that even if she did express opinion that the whole thing was orchestrated by the government to start a war, it's her opinion and her right to state it. If ABC wanted to be resposible they wouldn't fire her, they would just order that the next episode of the view feature experts on the topic explaining to Rosie why what she said was wrong and or stupid.
The Maher thing was different in a couple ways. The comment resulted in a fall out which made his firing a logical business move. The American people at that time were a lot more naive about the war as a whole. These days most people see it as the joke it has become while back then it was more of a touchy issue. And of course the view is more of a staple ABC show than Politically Incorrect was and is run by powerhouse Walters. If Walters wants Rosie to stay and the ratings don't plummit then Rosie will probably stay. ABC spent a lot of time and money promoting Rosie all summer, and promoting her as a far left woman that speaks her mind and pulls no punches. It doesn't seem to even be that big a deal in the media like the Maher thing was.
And you want to talk irresponsible, then look no further than the current administration (or any administration for that matter). If irresponsible to the american people is un-american then every president in history should be brought up for treason. Politicians and the social elite in general are dirty evil demons who feed off the masses. It's nothing new.
virtuoso:
Definitely well put! but you see shallow this is indicative of how people will allow the media to spin things in any shape or form, I bet most of the people "outraged" did not even listen to what she said. Plus for mr skeletons scarborough to open his trap just makes this all the sicker.
Props!

Rosie O'Donnell is a mental midget, along with more than half of the people posting on this thread.
Let me tell you about reality.
When someone has a slight piece of intelligence (which every human has), their mind runs away and they question. When someone hears something stated a certain way, the first instinct of an intelligent mind is to question whether they are being fooled, or whether they are being told the truth.
Now, a half-ass intellectual can go half way and when somebody tells him people landed on the moon, he can look for evidence that maybe that didn't happen. If he finds 1 little piece that may support that theory, a half-ass intellectual will stop right there and believe he has discovered something enlightened, or that he's more 'in the know' than others, or that he has done himself a favor by missing an attempt to manipulate him.
A true intellectual looks at that evidence, decides whether it has merit, then weighs it all out. Someone truly using their intelligence doesn't side with Rosie O'Donnell when she doesn't know a god damn thing about physics but yet is trying to describe to me how a building reacts in a fire. She's a fucking idiot.
It takes a really brave, enlightened person to stand beside an authority figure, and the story they're pushing.... and not feel threatened, not feel manipulated, not fill tricked because their mind is strong enough to know alternative evidence, and still believe what's being told to them.
It'd be a horrible life if I had to reject everything anybody with any authority told me.
